Also presented is a framework for helping readers begin to integrate concepts and techniques from various approaches. This article is based on Gerald Corey’s (2001a) book, The Art of Integrative Counseling. Introduction An integrative approach to counseling and psychotherapy is best characterized by attempts to look beyond and across the confines of single-school approaches in order to see what can be learned from, and how clients can benefit from, other perspectives (Arkowitz, 1997). Integrative counseling is the process of selecting concepts and methods from a variety of systems. The integrative approach can ideally be a creative synthesis of the unique contributions of diverse theoretical orientations, dynamically integrating concepts and techniques that fit the uniqueness of a practitioner’s personality and style. Since the early 1980s, psychotherapy has been characterized by a rapidly developing movement toward integration. This movement is based on combining the best of differing orientations so that more complete theoretical models can be articulated and more efficient treatments developed (Goldfried & Castonguay, 1992). The Society 271 for the Exploration of Psychotherapy Integration is an international organization formed in 1983. Its members are professionals who are working toward development of therapeutic approaches that transcend single theoretical orientations. One reason for the trend toward psychotherapy integration is the recognition that no single theory is comprehensive enough to account for the complexities of human behavior, especially when the range of client types and their specific problems are taken into consideration. Because no one theory has a patent on the truth, and because no single set of counseling techniques is always effective in working with diverse client populations, some writers think that it is sensible to cross boundaries by developing integrative approaches as the basis for future counseling practice (Lazarus, 1996). A large number of therapists identify themselves as “eclectic,” and this category covers a broad range of practice. Perhaps at its worst, eclectic practice consists of haphazardly picking techniques without any overall theoretical rationale. This is known as syncretism, wherein the practitioner, lacking in knowledge and skill in selecting interventions, grabs for anything that seems to work, often making no attempt to determine whether the therapeutic procedures are indeed effective. Such a hodgepodge is no better than a narrow and dogmatic orthodoxy. Pulling techniques from many sources without a sound rationale can only result in syncretistic confusion (Lazarus, 1986, 1996; Lazarus, Beutler, & Norcross, 1992). There are multiple pathways to achieving an integrative approach to counseling practice. Three of the most common are technical eclecticism, theoretical integration, and common factors (Arkowitz, 1997). Technical eclecticism tends to focus on differences, chooses from many approaches, and is a collection of techniques. This path calls for using techniques from different schools without necessarily subscribing to the theoretical positions that spawned them. In contrast, theoretical integration refers to a conceptual or theoretical creation beyond a mere blending of techniques. This path has the goal of producing a conceptual framework that synthesizes the best of two or more theoretical approaches under the assumption that the outcome will be richer than either of the theories alone (Norcross & Newman, 272 1992). The common factors approach attempts to look across different theoretical systems in search of common elements. Although there are differences among the theories, there is a recognizable core of counseling composed of nonspecific variables common to all therapies. This perspective on integration is based on the premise that these common factors are at least as important in accounting for therapeutic outcomes as the unique factors that differentiate one theory from another. While there are advantages to incorporating a diverse range of techniques from many different theories, it is also possible to incorporate some key principles and concepts from the various theoretical orientations. There are some concepts from the experiential approaches that can blend quite well into the cognitive- behavioral approaches. For example, the experiential approaches emphasize here-and-now awareness, the therapeutic relationship, and exploration of feelings—all concepts that can be incorporated into the action-oriented therapies. Clients can be asked to decide what they want to do with present awareness, including making behavioral plans for change. All the action-oriented therapies depend on a good rapport between client and therapist (Moursund & Erskine, 2004). Techniques will not take root if there is not a good working relationship, and clients are more likely to cooperate with a therapist’s cognitive and behavioral interventions if they feel the therapist is genuinely interested in their welfare. Arnold Lazarus (1997), the founder of multimodal therapy, espouses technical (or systematic) eclecticism. Multimodal therapists borrow techniques from many other therapy systems that have been demonstrated to be effective in dealing with specific problems. Lazarus raises concerns about theoretical eclecticism because he believes that blending bits and pieces of different theories is likely to obfuscate matters. He contends that by remaining theoretically consistent but technically eclectic, practitioners can spell out precisely what interventions they will employ with various clients, as well as the means by which they select these procedures. Technical eclecticism seems especially necessary in working with a diverse range of cultural backgrounds. Harm can come to clients 273 who are expected to fit all the specifications of a given theory, whether or not the values espoused by the theory are consistent with their own cultural values. Rather than stretching the client to fit the dimensions of a single theory, practitioners are challenged to tailor their theory and practice to fit the unique needs of the client. This requirement calls for counselors to possess knowledge of various cultures, be aware of their own cultural heritage, and have skills to assist a wide spectrum of clients in dealing with the realities of their culture. One study summarized the importance of taking into account cultural diversity and future trends in the practice of psychotherapy: “A major challenge for the field of psychotherapy will be to discover creative ways to integrate the values and worldviews of multiple cultures within the discourse of efficiency and evidence that currently dominate health care,” (Norcross, Hedges, & Prochaska, 2002, p. 322). Practitioners who are open to an integrative perspective will find that several theories play a crucial role in their personal counseling approach. Each theory has its unique contributions and its own domain of expertise. By accepting that each theory has strengths and weaknesses and is, by definition, “different” from the others, practitioners have some basis to begin developing a theory that fits for them. It is important to emphasize that unless counselors have an accurate, in-depth knowledge of theories, they cannot formulate a true synthesis. Simply put, practitioners cannot integrate what they do not know (Norcross & Newman, 1992). The challenge is for counselors to think and practice integratively, but critically. Developing an integrative perspective is a lifelong endeavor that is refined with experience. The following section addresses the topic of viewing the various theoretical approaches to determine what common ground exists that allows for an integrative perspective. Searching for Common Denominators Across Therapy Schools The experiential approaches (such as existential therapy and 274 Gestalt therapy) place a premium on exploration of feelings in

Then, by examining Heidegger’s concept of 1997:23) had not really been considered. According to authenticity in Being and Time, as well the views of Taylor, Rousseau was the first to put forward the idea that contemporary existential psychotherapists including van moral salvation was to be found ‘from recovering Deurzen (1988, 90, 97, 99), Cohn (1995), Spinelli (1994) and authentic moral contact with ourselves’ (ibid.), and thus Strasser (1997), I shall explore more fully how the the aim of making contact with our ‘inner’ or ‘true’ selves humanistic model’s concept of authenticity differs from gained a new significance. that used in an existential framework.

It respects science, and data driven findings, and endeavors to use empirically supported methods when possible. Nevertheless, it recognizes that many issues still fall into the gray area in which artistry and subjective judgment are necessary, and tries to fill the void by offering methods that have strong clinical support.

    behavioral sciences Article Dynamics of Existential Personality Fulfillment in the Course of Psychotherapy Marina M. Solobutina * and Liliya R. Miyassarova Institute of Psychology and Education, Kazan Federal University, 420008 Kazan City, Russia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +7-903-342-4506 Received: 2 November 2019; Accepted: 27 December 2019; Published: 31 December 2019 Abstract: The purpose of the study is to explore the clients’ perceptions of therapeutic changes due to their existential fulfillment experience and authenticity in their relationships with the world. The content of the study reveals the subjective perceptions and experiences of clients about the changes in the understanding of themselves and the world in the course of existential psychotherapy. Consideration of the qualitative changes in a person’s life as a result of psychotherapy was based on the concept of existential fulfillment and de-sedimentation of “I-structure”. An opening up of opportunities for experiencing the fullness of human existence, as well as exploring ways of avoiding existential fulfillment, present themselves as key aspects in existential psychotherapy. Research methods are Existence Scale (A. Längle and C. Orgler); semantic differential for measuring therapeutic changes of clients in the course of existential psychotherapy; and factor analysis. Going through a psychotherapeutic experience has a positive effect on the dynamics of self-distancing indices, self-transcendence, freedom, and responsibility. The experience of existential personal fulfillment in psychotherapy leads to changes in human contact with oneself and the ability to successfully interact with the external environment. Experiencing the true existential level of living helps a person to be aware of their needs and to stay in contact with their feelings.

P. (2005). Existential and humanistic theories. In J. C. Thomas, & D. L. Segal (Eds.), Comprehensive Handbook of Personality and Psychopathology (pp. 192-211). Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Existential Theories 2 ABSTRACT This chapter presents the historical roots of existential and humanistic theories and then describes four specific theories: European existential-phenomenological psychology, Logotherapy and existential analysis, American existential psychology and American humanistic psychology. After examining these theories, the chapter presents a reformulated existential-humanistic theory, which focuses on goal-striving for meaning and fulfillment. This meaning-centered approach to personality incorporates both negative and positive existential givens and addresses four main themes: (a) Human nature and human condition, (b) Personal growth and actualization, (c) The dynamics and structure of personality based on existential givens, and (c) The human context and positive community. The chapter then reviews selected areas of meaning-oriented research and discusses the vital role of meaning in major domains of life. Existential Theories 3 EXISTENTIAL AND HUMANISTIC THEORIES Existential and humanistic theories are as varied as the progenitors associated with them. They are also separated by philosophical disagreements and cultural differences (Spinelli, 1989, 2001). Nevertheless, they all share some fundamental assumptions about human nature and human condition that set them apart from other theories of personality. The overarching assumption is that individuals have the freedom and courage to transcend existential givens and biological/environmental influences to create their own future.

Hamburg, Ph.D., P.C., 79 W. Monroe Street, Suite 1311, Chicago, IL 60603 Email: [email protected] _________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT This paper describes two cases in which hypnosis was successfully used, in the context of an integrative approach to therapy, to treat pathologically obsessive fears of death. The hypnotic interventions employed in each case are described in detail. The cases illustrate how hypnotherapy can be adapted to clients with widely differing clinical contexts and demographics, with one involving a 40-year-old African-American man (Lawrence), and the other, a 36-year- old white woman (Betty). The latter case illustrates how clinical knowledge, transmitted via a published case of Milton Erickson’s, provided the author the idea for developing a novel solution to the client’s pressing clinical problem. Key words: obsessive fear of death; hypnosis; hypnotherapy; multimodal therapy ________________________________________________________________________ 1. CASE CONTEXT AND METHOD The Cases The two cases presented here have in common their presenting problem: pathological fear of dying. (Note that the names and other identifying characteristics of the clients have been disguised to preserve their anonymity; and both clients gave their permission to have their case written up for publication.) In both cases, hypnosis, within the broader framework of an integrative behavioral/experiential approach to therapy, is the treatment technique that seems to have helped.
